Is CPS1 p.Ala1173Pro (c.3517G>C) pathogenic?

CPS1 p.Ala1173Pro (c.3517G>C) is classified Likely pathogenic in CPS1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2019-05-28). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9901); Very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe); Associated with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency disease.

What condition is associated with CPS1 p.Ala1173Pro (c.3517G>C)?

CPS1 p.Ala1173Pro (c.3517G>C) is associated with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency disease (ClinVar).

How common is CPS1 p.Ala1173Pro (c.3517G>C) in the general population?

CPS1 p.Ala1173Pro (c.3517G>C) is very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about CPS1 p.Ala1173Pro (c.3517G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9901) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
